What I think Lunkhead means...is that he hit his head really hard...and doesn't know what he's saying.

I'm not sure if my better musical half is around this morning. Will you simply be embedding a link to the picture? If so, can I just give you an image location with a placeholder pic and then when we get a band photo we want we can replace the existing image?

**EDIT**

If so:

The Top 25 advance into the Nur Ein. Congratulations. Subsequently, MC Eric B, Spinlock & Mico Suadad, you will not be making it into the competition.

I ask of all the competitors to keep the links to their Round Zero songs active as I have decided to use them as samples on the webpage.

ROUND ONE of the <b>NUR EIN</b> starts now!

Title: Sister Cocaine
Challenge: Use of Alliteration
Songs are Due on: 5/10/07


Five bands will eliminated at the end of this round. The winner of the top song in this round will earn immunity in Round #2.

More on everything will soon be up on the Nur Ein webpage at nur-ein.livejournal.com

If anyone would like to make some cover art for Sister Cocaine, it would be greatly appreciated.

There can only be one! NUR EIN!

Wow, the actual rankings surprise me a little bit. But we live to fight another day, so that's all that matters.

Out of curiosity, is there a point-giving criteria the judges are using or is it like a 1-10 rating?

And here Sausage Boy and Frankie Big Face didn't think they were getting any Nur Ein love. How do you like them apples? The sp00ns rank especially surprised me and made me wonder what the ranking is based on. You were easily top 10 for me.

No. Just ranking them from favorite to least favorite and numbering them from largest number down.

Hmm, #10, nice. I was concerned that I may have rocked it a little too hard for the "white wigs". Kidding, just practicing my alliterations. :mrgreen:

Great title and a fun challenge! I'll get it in before 10:00am Thursday.
